HOW THE STATEMENT ONLINE TRAP TAXPAYERS





The online statement of income taxes reached cruising speed. For the benefit of the administration but not necessarily the taxpayer!

That's it, it's too late. For those who forgot to declare their income by paper path (or for those with incomes above 40,000 euros and want to stay within the law ...), it only remains to them that the declaration online, with a deadline between May 24 and June 7, according to the department ...

Statement does not, however, makes the simplest French taxation because now adds to the complexity of the system constraints of the screen ...

Thus, one who must declare both salaries, independent income, some rent and some continued appreciation find themselves drowning in a flood of forms to fill out.
The computer now forced to play the acrobats

but whereas with the paper, it was enough to spread printed on the table of the dining room, the computer screen now requires acrobats to play from one to the other to complete, back above etc. Not to mention that the taxpayer will have to choose its preliminary numbers printed from a long and perfectly airtight list.

And if the site offers each time a manual assistance to the declaration, the time to open it and understand it and we lost the reason for the notice.

The apotheosis concerns perhaps the most gains from the sale of securities for which the complexity almost encourage small savers to take the risk of not reporting.

Indeed, after an hour to find the right form, it need one more to find the right box and then half a day to complete, so the calculation developed by a legislator still out of step with reality makes almost incomprehensible how to allocate losses on capital gains...
Simplification is not at the rendezvous

the online statement is there in principle to spare us the pile of evidence to reach. However, simplification stops there because not only supporting documents are no longer reaching remain to treasure, which puts the advantage, but more the principle of the online form can multiply endlessly information that we can ask the taxpayer, regardless of site.

So while on paper the taxpayer has two lines to indicate the work to deduct from its income property, internet enables us to offer the taxpayer a limit no space to describe all the work. In other words, an owner can spend several hours in front of his screen to properly justify deductible expenses in rents...
Digital sections have been created to encourage taxpayers to confess everything to the tax authorities

and many other digital items were created to strongly encourage taxpayers to confess everything to the collector, even that which has nothing to do with income. This goes descriptive of its housing to the identity of its owner through the children. And each time a check is not met, the taxpayer is asked to complete...

In other words, the online tax return is not the symbol of consent to taxation as claimed by the finance minister but became a help to the indiscretion.
Software discouraging objections and disputes

And if you want to enjoy the space for remarks and comments, for example to explain that you claimed a deduction which is not provided for the pre-filled statement, everything is done to discourage daring. Indeed, the machine informs you that if you take to make an "explicit reference" to defend a position likely to reduce your tax, your return will be subject to special consideration from a controller.

In other words, the device prompts to make the online statement simply recording the data available to the administration. The one who objects is warned: control lies in wait…
Fini also anonymity of the Board

Moreover, the generalization of the online declaration coincides with the phasing out unannounced visits to the tax office. It will now make an appointment. Whoever would get an innocuous piece of information will have to first identify himself. Finished in line at tax office accounting period but ended the anonymity of the board.

If the online statement is undoubtedly in the service of the administration, it is not certain whether the service of the citizen...
Saisi!
